In this post I agree with what Miguel Ramirez is saying, the state of Texas needs a reform on the health care system, and with this reforming and expanding health care is going to cost big spending money. And by all the money that will be need it will also affect budget cuts and if our schooling isn’t bad as it is, the schooling will also be affected way more. I personally think that the health needs a better program but with this in mind we need to stop and draw something out and get right to the point instead of trying all this methods and spending money that we don’t even have. Investigate more about the people that we are helping and make sure they aren’t taking this system to their “wants” and not their “needs”.

The Democratic Party is saying that they are all in for the pass of legislation on this health care system with the aid of Obama’s administration. But like Miguel states the “federal government will help Texas Medicaid beneficiaries is unclear, and both Republican and Democratic parties can agree that the Texas care system needs reform”. In the article   No Republican lawmakers have gone on record supporting the Medicaid expansion, which would have an estimated of  1.8 million Texans into the joint state-federal health plan by 2022 and the Kaiser Family Foundation, a health care think tank, estimates the expansion would cost Texas $5.7 billion between 2013 and 2022 .

Money money money is what drives the world that we live in. Should Obama pass or not the legislation and how much are we going to spend. To be honest we say and say what we are going to do and at the end its something different. Like I said before we need to really investigate where and how the money and aid is going to and if the people really need it or not! Texas has more than 6.3 million uninsured residents and the highest percentage without health coverage of any state! Does this system need improvement yes but what are we going to do I’m not sure of.
